An analog signal is band-limited to 4kHz, sampled at the Nyquist rate and the
samples are quantized into 4 levels. The quantized levels are assumed to be
independent and equally probable. If we transmit two quantized samples per
second, the information rate is ________ bits / second.
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
Answer: - (D)
Exp: - Since two samples are transmitted and each sample has 2 bits of information,
then the information rate is 4 bits/sec.

The channel resistance of an N-channel JFET shown in the figure below is 600
when the full channel thickness (tch) of 10m is available for conduction. The
built-in voltage of the gate P+ N junction (Vbi) is -1 V. When the gate to source
voltage (VGS) is 0 V, the channel is depleted by 1m on each side due to the builtin voltage and hence the thickness available for conduction is only 8m

The horse has played a little known but very important role in the field of
medicine. Horses were injected with toxins of diseases until their blood built up
immunities. Then a serum was made from their blood. Serums to fight with
diphtheria and tetanus were developed this way.
It can be inferred from the passage that horses were

(A) given immunity to diseases
(B) generally quite immune to diseases
(C) given medicines to fight toxins
(D) given diphtheria and tetanus serums
Answer: - (B)
Exp: - From the passage it cannot be inferred that horses are given immunity as in (A),
since the aim is to develop medicine and in turn immunize humans. (B) is correct
since it is given that horses develop immunity after some time. Refer until their
blood built up immunities. Even (C) is invalid since medicine is not built till
immunity is developed in the horses. (D) is incorrect since specific examples are
cited to illustrate and this cannot capture the essence.

Drift current in the semiconductors depends upon

So that it depends on carrier concentration and electric field.

A Zener diode, when used in voltage stabilization circuits, is biased in

For Zener diode

The circuit shown below is driven by a sinusoidal input vi = Vp cos ( t / RC ) . The

point inside S, with n

The modes in a rectangular waveguide are denoted by

The solution of the differential equation

Simplest receiver structure

Bandwidth efficient transmission of

The differential equation 100

Apply L.T both sides

So we have poles with positive real part system is unstable.

For the transfer function G ( j) = 5 + j , the corresponding Nyquist plot for

(B) changed from 1 to 0

Q is connected to 2nd flip flop

(A) F = AND (P, Q )

(C) F = XNOR (P, Q )

(D) F = XOR (P, Q )

And 1 is connected to I1 & I2

(A) low pass filter

A silicon PN junction is forward biased with a

constant current at room

Exp: - For Si forward bias voltage change by -2.5mv /0 C

(A) 6.4 j4.8

(B) 6.56 j7.87

From current Division rules IN =

The value of the integral

dz where c is the circle z = 1 is given by

z = 2 j will be outside the unit circle

And Bn1 = Bn2

Normal component in x direction
